Why Buy a Zebra Hide Rug? Ask the Experts! 

ADVICE AND INFORMATION FROM ZEBRA SKIN SPECIALISTS

1. PLEASING AESTHETIC. One of the best reasons is also the simplest: they're absolutely beautiful. In addition to their beauty, the natural shape of a zebra skin rug cuts the floor in any room, introducing a visual dynamic that no other type of carpet can. The lines of a zebra pattern, as well as the lines of the zebra skin's natural shape, take care of one aspect of interior design: softening the hard lines, corners, and edges of any given space in your home.

2. UNIQUE PATTERN. The absolutely unique nature of a zebra pattern makes for a beautiful addition to any style space. From yacht clubs to night clubs, and in classic colonial, country, and modern style homes, zbra hides fit in to wide range of styles that would surprise the average person. When it comes to interior design, a second goal or ideal is introducing a unique, singularly impactful pattern, that marks the space as its own. Zebra skin patterns easily and naturally do this for almost any space they are in. 

3. TEXTURE. Another goal of interior design is to add a unique element of texture (or several!) to a space. With your zebra skin rug purchase, you will be introducing an organic and unique texture to whatever space your hide is in. And don’t let an inferior product fool you; a zebra hide should feel soft and almost silky, and a hide-specific cleaner/treatment product can keep that softness for years to come. 

4. LONGEVITY. The average lifespan of a typical carpet is only 3 - 5 years. A properly treated and expertly tanned zebra hide rug like those from The Zebra Supply Co. should last at least double that, and have been known to last up to 20 years when properly cared for. This is all in addition to the fact that many zebra hide owners enjoy the aged look that you achieve over time. Obviously, wear and tear will depend on the type and volume of traffic in any given space, but you are more likely to grow tired of your zebra hide before it gets tired of you. 

5. EASY CARE. There is an entire article here on general care advice for your Zebra hide rug, but suffice it to say that any worries you had about looking after your hide are unfounded. Most hides are easier to care for than almost any other type of carpet! Hides are naturally stain resistant, they are easily cleaned with a broom or a shake, and you often only require a wipe with a damp cloth or sponge for spot cleaning. Combine that with an organic hide-treatment product, and your hide should be soft, supple, and looking great for years and years to come. 

6. FASHION MEETS LUXURY. It is simply undeniable that Zebra hide rugs have a luxurious and exclusive feel about them. Zebra patterns have been used in designer homes, designer studios, and on designer runways as far back as anyone can remember (1940's, anyone?) so they have "staying power" that is next-to-none. When you consider the longevity of a zebra hide, its resistance to stain and general wear, and their unique ability to be a feature in any space in your home, a zebra skin is worth every penny, and simply the best choice around.
